Nope_Thanks is a 34-year-old woman who decided to take control of her weight by adopting the keto diet. After a year, she lost an amazing 48 pounds and achieved a BMI of 23.9. She says she feels a thousand times better and will never go back to her old eating habits.

Adopting the Keto Diet

Nope_Thanks attributes her weight loss success to the keto diet - a low-carb, high-fat diet. By eating fewer carbs and increasing her intakes of fats, her body entered a state of ketosis where it burned fat for fuel instead of glucose. She provides her own advice to others trying to lose weight and notes that keto is not for everyone, and if it doesn't work for you, try other things until you find what works.

Incorporating Exercise

Apart from the change in diet, Nope_Thanks also incorporated weightlifting and bodyweight exercises to further enhance her weight loss and to tone up. She began with bar and barbells lifting and progressed onto plank and push-ups - both executing moves that exercised her whole-body. The incorporation of exercise also helped her maintain her weight loss.

After a year on the keto diet, Nope_Thanks lost approximately 0.92 pounds per week, resulting in a total weight loss of 48 pounds. She achieved a BMI of 23.9 which falls within the healthy range for adults. She says that she looks and feels 10 years younger and is thrilled with the results she has achieved.

Conclusion

Nope_Thanks' story proves that you can successfully lose weight with the right combination of diet and exercise. Her advice to individuals who want to lose weight is to try things out and find what works for them. She encourages people who are struggling with their weight to keep going and to never give up because the results are worth it in the end.
